Navigate life milestones with confidence.
How much of your savings should you be investing? Should you share your finances with a significant other? How do you know when you're ready to buy a home, or start a business? If you're wrestling with some of these questions, the Playbook: Your Guide to Life & Money may have the answers you're looking for.
The "Playbook: Your Guide to Life & Money" is a content series focused on providing highly actionable insights and advice that covers 10 major life milestones. Filled with articles, checklists, interviews, and helpful tips, the Playbook aims to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to help achieve your goals: whether it's buying a home, starting a family, pursuing a passion, or giving back.
Money is often considered a taboo topic, but it shouldn't be. When managed intelligently, wealth can be a powerful tool for impact. We created the Playbook as a resource to help you navigate the road ahead and explore new horizons with confidence.
To learn more about the Playbook and other resources available to help you navigate various life milestones, please reach out to our team.
Saving is not just about retirement. It's about creating a plan to help finance your dreams–big ones like selling your home and retiring on a yacht in the South of France, but also shorter-term aspirations like adopting a pet or buying your first car. Regardless of your age, retire the notion that it is still too early to save, and start saving early so you will have the freedom to enjoy your future in style.
The answer to this question is complicated, and it can vary based on the family or couple involved. Before making such an impactful decision, however, it's important to be armed with all facts. We talked to Glenn Kurlander, Head, Family Governance, Wealth Education at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and family wealth expert, to help inform you on this delicate matter.
How the power of time can help savvy young investors grow an impressive portfolio.
Whether you're applying for a mortgage, purchasing car insurance, or signing up with a new Internet provider, you will inevitably be asked about your credit. Understanding how this number is calculated and how to establish a healthy credit score early on in life can help increase your financial freedom and purchasing power in the future.
